[Potions + Sequences + the Extraordinary + a touch of Cthulhu]
(No formulaic tropes, no invincible protagonist, no System, no smug Dragon King, no abuse of the protagonist, and no illogical wish fulfillment.)
In this world, the extraordinary, steam, cannons, and seafaring all coexist and flourish, alongside filth, corruption, distortion, and the seven deadly sins.
Beneath the weight of ignorance, concealed truths, and history’s iron heel, a pair of eyes opened, eager to seek the truth and explore the unknown.
After transmigrating to this world, he, now named Karen Derek, set out on the path of advancement from Sequence 9. It was a road steeped in madness, corruption, and lust.
Fortunately, he had a Book of Omniscience.
The contract was sealed. He gained the ability to use the powers of two pathways, and used them to build a faction hidden beneath the surface.
From mortal to Beyonder, to demigod, saint, angel, and god...
Until he truly became Sequence 0, enthroned above the highest heavens!
And then came the price for every gift given without reason.
This book is also known as Eye of the Starry Sky.
The plot is good, but the character of the protagonist feels a bit stiff.
